“I hired Don to take my varied work experiences and distill them down into something both marketable and meaningful. With one meeting, he tapped into my story and who I am and produced not just an incredible resume, but also a focus for my job search. I landed a flurry of interviews almost immediately!”
— Nancy Nyman
